Example text

43 The main initiatives were to be taken in the strategic front through eventual offers of troop withdrawals and treaty renegotiation, all designed to reconcile imperial and nationalist interests. Ultimately, Bevin hoped to facilitate the creation of a regional defence system centred around the kind of joint defence board which had proved such an effective and cooperative arrangement in North America during the Second World War. The development policy was designed to enhance this initiative. In the long run, Bevin wanted to foster the creation of a parallel regional development system complete with a Middle East Development Board.

30 Bevin, however, refused to abandon his vision. At a reconvened conference of British Middle East representatives in London in July 1949, he spoke with some urgency about the need for a more energetic approach to the promotion of socioeconomic development in the region, particularly now that the 'boards' and 'blueprints' had been put in place. 31 The big question mark was finance and, although there was some loosening of the Treasury's purse-strings, no dramatic policy shifts occurred. 33 Thus, with the exception of UNRWA, the agreement 'in principle' did not represent an actual commitment of financial aid.

2 Bevin found all of this activity encouraging and looked upon these 'boards and blueprints' as having laid the foundations for success in the next stage of policy implementation. However, all of this planning and 'development-mindedness' in the region was having little payoff for Britain. Bevin's policy demanded that Britain play a leading role in the promotion of development in the region. For this, it would need to provide manpower, machines, and capital if it was going to have any effect in convincing the emerging more radical and progressive social groups in the region of the benefits of maintaining ties with Britain and the West.
